That's not true though. The Faroes natiiinal stadium in Torshavn doesn't meet the Category 4 requirements for group stage games. So unless they can get some sort of dispensation or temporary arrangement, Klaksvik are likely to face a hell of an overseas trip for each of their home European group games.Quote:

Also, BATE and CSKA would be more familiar names than Tobol Kastanay so they probably aided Dundalk and Pats crowds.
It’s safe to assume that Basel would have attracted much bigger interest from the neutrals.
That's a real shameQuote:

The excuse used to be that because capacity was limited, higher prices were justified. That doesn't apply to Tallaght.
A poor result this afternoon, and it'll be a few hundred in Tallaght. Vital that we bring some sort of a result back from Kazakhstan.
I wont bother at those prices tbh. Its different when its your own team but as a neutral I can watch the game online.
30 euros won't get me in to Tallaght to watch Derry.
Seems like a crazy call
Brutal decision. I had estimated 5-6K in attendance if the prices were 20, or maybe even more if the Derry were leading the tie and prices were lower.Quote:

Wonder how much it will cost a Derry fan to go to the match in tallaght? 30 quid for your match ticket is very steep and I can only speak for Bohs busses but they're usually between 15-20 quid depending on location and number of people who are going. Then food & drink for the day (even if they're non alcoholic beverages) you're probably looking another 15-20 quid per person at least! Could end up being some cost for a "home" leg.Quote:

Combined with needing half a day off work and eight hours of travelling midweek, the appeal begins to wear off.
Probably unlikely considering the ticket prices but would the club look at running subsidised busses? A good support could make a big difference in a tight gameQuote:

More generally, don't know why clubs don't do joint match/transport tickets though. Different levels, but the Germans have it sussed. A joint cup final/rail ticket can't be that difficult to organise?
The difference being that you can actually get to wherever you want to easily by train in Germany. You can't even do Galway to Sligo by train without having to go way over to Mullingar and change, and there aren't that many trains a day going from there to Sligo anyway. Plus trains here don't run 'late', so even for fixtures that it would be possible to get to by train you'd have to leave way before the end of the game to get the last service home. The last train from Dublin Connolly to Sligo on a Friday is at 8:50pm, for example. So you'd get to see about 5mins max of an 8pm KO at Tallaght Stadium before you had to rush to get the Luas up to Connolly.Quote:

Not just the trains. I was in Freiburg on holiday a while back and it coincided with Freiburg SC having a home Bundesliga match. Bought a match ticket and then found out that it also brought free travel on the trams to and from the city centre to the stadium, which was out in the suburbs. (They've since moved to a new stadium in another area out by the local airport, but I daresay the same applies).Quote:

Why knock, say, €10-15 off the cost of buses when they could instead knock €10-15 off the price of the match ticket? After all, the latter might encourage more neutrals in Dublin to come along, too.Quote:

Whereas if they reduce match ticket prices for this (and other) games in the meantime, then when it comes to future big European games at home, fans will say: "What? It's €30? It wasn't that much the last time."
Remember, it's not like buying something in a shop, where if you think a product is too dear, you can go to another shop - DCFC have got the monopoly.
EDIT: When you add in that DCFC don't have to pay 20% in VAT for the game in Tallaght, those prices are further taking the p1ss (imo). They could easily make a point of announcing €20/24 i.e. arrived at by deducting 20% from the "regular" €25/29 price. That would be another subtle reminder of why they have to charge so much at the Brandywell, with a further dig at the Brits into the bargain! ;)
Any links for today´s match apart from the one Solidsport is providing for the paltry amount of 15 euros?
Balls, not on LOI TV
Jesus that commentator is kak hard to understand.
Jamaican English is easier to understand than this guy .... no jokes.
Tobol with 2 yellows already which I missed but in the last 10 they've had 3 more challenges which should have resulted in a 3 more.
Mostly Tobol possession but Derry not under the cosh or anything. Have been able to string a couple passes together at different stages too without any final third penetration.
Seems like Derry just need to sit back and pounce on the mistakes when they come.
Following it on Derry’s twitter page and looks like Tobol should have had a red too.
Derry need to keep their heads and not get drawn into a scrap. Keep calm and let Tobol keep fouling and sooner or later one of them might get sent off. Then you’ve a great chance to win it.
If Derry can keep the match alive they would be better off charging €10 into Tallaght and filling the place it will be the same revenue as the approx €30 they are charging when only a couple of thousend show up.
Fill the place and create an atmosphere, it might help them win!!
With the capacity in Tallght going to 10000 next season i will be shocked if Rovers dont try something similer maybe 15 though......capacity has to play a part in this
This one works, adblock on, and reload from main page when required, very good quality.Quote:

With Derry's Ryan McBride Stadium not meeting requirements for the second leg on 17th August, what are these requirements other than capacity and seating facilities? :confused:
Big chance for Tobol the and Maher did the business in the 1v1.
Derry get there best chance a moment later but the ball wouldn't break kindly.
McMullen is a step above the rest of the Derry players, seriously impressive dribbling from him this evening.
That's some strike from the left back in fairness. Don't stop those.
Great strike that.....
If they can keep it tight and come home with the tie still alive that’s not too bad.
Game has opened up a little bit which I don't think will suit Derry.
Thought Derry had a pen but Patching booked for a dive which was probably the right decision.
McEleney has made a difference for Derry with the ball but they are finding it too hard to get it back.
What a chance for Duffy there....
What a chance for Duffy.
Poor clearance by the keeper and the ball fell to Duffy, one on one and he hit the side netting.
Match quite open now since the goal.
Oh that miss from Duffy could be costly. Need to take those gifts when they come.
Diallo has had a monster performance in the second half.
Dundalk 2.0 have played good football bar the away leg in the Faroe Islands. Deserved a draw out of this game and Duffy should have made sure of it, very poor ref.
A few of the tobol players looked out on their feet and they arent that great of a side. Getting out straight after the game and back home gives them a very good chance of winning the home leg - based off what Tobol showed tonight.
